Bulk loading and unloading

We are equipped to handle large or small bulk volumes through our silo facility with a capacity of over 10 million pounds of coffee in over 100 silos. Approximately 10% more coffee can be loaded into bulk containers which translates into logistical, purchasing and processing cost reductions. With our certified truck scales AT our bulk receiving station, automatic weighing on every incoming bulk container can help drive additional handling costs out of your process. Bulk containers equal faster turnaround times of transportation equipment which can reduce expensive daily chassis and or container storage fees.

Steaming

- We provide this unique service at a significant capacity to offer our customers the ability to add value to their coffee by improving the quality and increase profitability in their blends.

- Steaming coffee is a technique used to neutralize the tints and musty or earthy tastes found in Robusta coffee and can work to reduce acidity in order to market a “low acid” or “stomach friendly” coffee.

- When steamed coffee is incorporated into a blend, higher percentages of Robusta (steamed) can be included in the blends without impacting taste, resulting in lower costs and full blend optimization.

WHY HOUSTON

Houston’s geographic location has proven to be one of its best assets. Centrally location on the Gulf Coast, Houston is a strategic gateway for cargo originating in or destined for the U.S. West and Midwest.

Strategic Location of Houston

- More than 17 million people live within 300 miles of the city, and approximately 60 million live within 700 miles.

- Ample truck, rail and air connections allow shippers to economically transport their goods between Houston and inland points.

- Houston is well-served by a system of radial highways that provide excellent access to markets inside and outside the region.

- Texas is #1 state in Value and Tonnage of domestic shipments originated in the State, yet it is #24 in average distance per shipment.

- Houston is located along the route of the proposed I-69 “NAFTA superhighway” that will link Canada, the U.S. industrial Midwest, Texas and Mexico.

A dynamic port helped fuel the Houston area’s development as a center of international business and trade.

Technology

The processing facility is fully automated using the latest in control technology to operate and monitor all steps and processes, analyzing data from more than 1,000 points located throughout the facility.

The program allows for continuous control and reporting of all coffee in the facility, from the time it enters the facility, to the moment it leaves the site. Every lot of coffee entering the facility is tracked using all of its attributes (marks, origin, entry port, type, etc.) through all processing and storage giving instantaneous inventory control and process reporting.
